AGS DC++ HUB

Would someone be so kind as to remove this temporary ban? I need Knightmare videos!

Just so you know: The server port in the IP adress isn't needed anymore, it's even impossible to connect when it's still there. If you want to join the AGS hub, change the adress line to 213.93.124.148 please.

Well, I'm connected but there's only one other person there. I'll just go ahead and leave it on, and hopefully more people will begin to join.

Connection refused by target machine...

Same here

RickJ · Fri 05/03/2004 05:01:59

Yea, me too!!!

auhsor · Fri 05/03/2004 06:30:26

Yeah i got that error too. The hub is a good idea, cos i've been using DC++ for about 2 months and it is very cool.

Czar · Fri 05/03/2004 18:53:30

Now I have too the smae problem ( i think)

auhsor · Fri 05/03/2004 22:40:37

It seems to be working now... Hello everyone... ther doesnt seem to be many people on...

Timosity · Sat 06/03/2004 14:44:18

I've never used this before, but I just tried it , I got logged into the chanel and all that, there were a couple of users there, but I couldn't see any of their files.

Is there a certain way to see files, I right clicked on the users and clicked 'get file list' it then says connecting, but always times out.

I'll try again later, but first, am I doing something wrong?

Czar · Sun 07/03/2004 00:24:42

I usually just double click (yeah, it's a BIIG difference

), and if the timeout comes (maybe because i'm dowloading something else), it starts again, and then it works...

Timosity · Sun 07/03/2004 07:46:48

Strange, it still times out all the time.

I have Zone alarm, but It still doesn't work if I turn it off (and I also allowed DC++ to use the internet)

Is there something in the settings you have to adjust, cause all I did was put a Nick in & connect to the server: 213.93.124.148

I see names on the right hand side with other info eg. How much the others are sharing. If I double click it , it says connecting & eventually timed out.

Is there a certain amount of data you have to share first or something, cause I'm sharing about 89MB, and I see others are sharing eg. 136GB (which is more than 3 times the size of my HD)

has anyone got any good stuff through this, and how fast is it (As fast as the 2 peoples connections?)

Czar · Sun 07/03/2004 12:00:28

Well, about the sharing, dont worry, you dont have to share too much, I only share 6 GB, some games and music...
And yes, there are plenty of the good stuff from the admins (136GB).
Yesterday i downloaded some cool stuff from that guy Invicta...
Lets just say he is a Grim Fandango music fan

And in the settings, i dont think you're doing anything wrong, but maybe you're missing something....

Ishmael · Sun 07/03/2004 14:23:34

Ã Âf you are connected as "Passive" (needed if you have a firewall, I remember), you cannot fetch the filelist or download from other passive users (bricks on the icon)...

Timosity · Sun 07/03/2004 14:30:21

It's working now, I tried logging onto some public hubs and they worked fine.

Then I tried again and there were only 2 users & I couldn't log onto them, then finally another user came by, and it worked.

I guess it only works for some users.

Still only 6KB/sec d/l, but at least it works.

edit:
Yeah, TK, I think you're right, I had changed from "active" to "passive" as well

Minimi · Sun 07/03/2004 16:59:45

Hey, I started joining DC++ right now, so I'm now also in there. I only have just a few things to share... like midis midlets, adventuregames... and some other stuff ...hmm... compared to the 20GB of others $:-\$

auhsor · Tue 09/03/2004 02:17:14

Yeah changing to passive helps with searching and connecting, tho it means you can't connect to everyone. Apparently if you use Zone Alarm, it messes things up and oyu can't go active, which is annoying, cos thats what I use.

Czar · Thu 18/03/2004 20:20:35

i seeem to have some difficulties connecting, anyone else?

Ishmael · Thu 18/03/2004 20:24:34

ATM me too...

TheDude · Thu 18/03/2004 23:02:03

I can connect nicely using 213.93.124.148 without the port number. I've selected "Active" and put my IP address in but i'm having trouble getting people's file list, passive doesn't do much either. There is about 12 people in here right now.

I have a router so i think i'll have to open some ports... anyone else have an SMC router that knows how to do this properly? Is it TCP or UDP?? Grr.

EDIT - OK, i've managed to open port 1050 on my router and i can access people's files now, wooh :).
